Post-Museum Post (13-19 Oct 08)

Dear friend,

Starting this week, we’ll be sending you a weekly email entitled Post-Museum Post. This replaces p-10 Updates and p-10 Picks we previously sent out.

Post-Museum Post consists of 2 sections: the first contains our updates (Post-Museum, Food #03 and p-10) while the second is our selection of 3 events happening elsewhere in Singapore this week.

We hope you enjoy this new format.

UPDATES

1. Now till 2 Nov in Show Room: Exelcior Mortis: Recent Work by Jack Youngblood (UK) features work done in the past year while he was artist-in-residence in a Singaporean computer games design company. Its themes reference heavily the lurid and dramatic imagery of which contemporary computer games are frequently composed. The work also addresses such notions as ‘the hero’, ‘the beauty’, death and loss and is a development of the ‘old spaceman’ imagery that has constituted his other shows in Singapore. A parallel event of SB2008. Opened 6-10pm (Tue-Fri), 12-10pm (Sat+Sun), closed on Mon; free admission.

2. Food #03 is featured on Small Girl Big Appetite Episode 8 - http://sgba.tv - check it out!

3. Drawing Out Conversations (curated by p-10’s Lim Kok Boon and featuring Post-Museum’s resident artists Chun Kai Feng, Chun Kai Qun and Joo Choon Lin among others) is now on at FOST (65 Kim Yam Rd). This exhibition brings together a diverse representation of artists at work in Singapore to explore their concerns with drawing and its relationship with their varied practices. Till 1 Nov from 12-7pm (Tue-Sat), free admission.

PM visitors

Hey, long time no update.

As usual, being buszzzy bee.

This week has been rather eventful. The highlight was the malaysian artists visiting actually. (quite a few have visited because of the biennale).

This week we had visits from Yi-Chin, Chang Hwang, nansee. Also visiting was the fukuoka curators from the fukuoka asian art museum. (lots of nice chats there).

Later on today, osage bringing some people from philippines.

Just toying with the idea to put some portfolios at Food #03 since so many curators come, it will be nice to let them have a look at some singapore artist works.

have not seen Sze-Chin, miss him,.

been a while since i last saw Sze-Chin, last i met him was before i left for Korea.

hey! Mr Lee! let's meeeeeet!

at the library

I am at the library (TPY) with Jen.

REading and researching on one of the new projects. (A design and art one).

Any suggestions? then played around with the webcam and uploading the recordings onto facebook.

Now that is fun. Now we can use it to make small videos. And also quick recording!

At TPY, it is quite noisy and people are making lots of sounds and talking.

and students doing their homework. (i thought that the library is against that?)

Good news, FOI is going to happen again soon. So for those fans of the performance festival! And of course, the Fetterfield festival.

It is happening soon. ( NOV ) I suppose.

Transmission out.
